Amidst a flurry of legal battles and lingering controversies, the ongoing saga enveloping the Combs family takes yet another dramatic turn.

On Thursday, Grace O’Marcaigh initiated legal action against Christian "King" Combs, son of hip-hop mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs, alleging sexual assault during a luxurious yacht excursion. The lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court, paints a stark picture of a seemingly innocent voyage spiraling into a scene of excess, as reported by NBC News.

According to court documents, O’Marcaigh, then 25 and employed as a steward on the vessel, witnessed a disturbing spectacle of partying and drug use, with celebrities and women, allegedly sex workers, in attendance. Her apprehension escalated as she observed women becoming visibly impaired after consuming drinks, fueling concerns for her own safety.
The lawsuit contends that Christian Combs, 26, coerced O’Marcaigh into consuming tequila shots, leading her to suspect foul play as she began experiencing its effects. O’Marcaigh alleges that Christian subsequently assaulted her sexually, despite her protests captured in audio clips submitted as evidence.
Detailing the assault, O’Marcaigh recounts an incident where Christian cornered her, attempted to coerce her into performing oral sex, and groped her. The lawsuit further claims that O’Marcaigh endured physical and psychological trauma following the assault, including anxiety, panic attacks, suicidal ideations, an eating disorder,and epileptic seizures.

Tyrone Blackburn, O’Marcaigh's attorney, emphasized the importance of accountability in the face of such grave allegations. These allegations emerge amidst a federal sex trafficking investigation involving Sean 'Diddy' Combs, intensifying the legal complexity surrounding the family. Blackburn drew chilling parallels between father and son, bluntly stating, "Like father, like son."

Fans of “The Masked Singer” who thought the Lizard might prevail in the popular Fox reality singing competition were proved wrong-wrug-wrong-wrong-wrong Wednesday when the show unleashed “The Dragon.” This reveal showed that Grammy-nominated singer Mark Althavan Andrews, better known as Sisq贸, was the man behind the Lizard’s mask.

As the Group C final unfolded, Sisq贸's Lizard persona bid farewell to the competition after a spirited performance of "Bring Me to Life" by Evanescence. He placed third.

Following his unmasking, Sisq贸, 45, spoke with host Nick Cannon about his love for the show. "My family watches religiously, and they always insisted I was on it!" he said. "So when the opportunity came, I jumped at it – it's been a blast."

During the competition's "smackdowns," Sisq贸 channeled his resilience into the Dragon's performances. A poignant clue package alluded to his past struggles, highlighting how he overcame the temptations of a reckless lifestyle. Visual clues connected to fellow "Masked Singer" participant Busta Rhymes (as the Dragon), a microphone, and a photo of Beyonc茅 hinted at moments in his career.

Since his iconic 2000 hit "Thong Song," Sisqo's career has experienced highs and lows. Despite early success, he faced record label conflicts and a reputation for being "difficult."

In a 2016 "Where Are They Now?" interview, Sisq贸 reflected on these industry challenges and his desire for more creative control. He continues to make music and tours with the R&B group Dru Hill.

Police Link Rapper Rod Wave to Shooting Investigation

Rapper Rod Wave, born Rodarius Marcell Green, was arrested Wednesday in Manatee County in connection with a Sunday night shooting that injured four people. Green, 25, faces two counts of illegally possessing a firearm or ammunition as a convicted felon, according to Manatee County booking records.

The arrest is part of an ongoing St. Petersburg Police Department investigation into a shooting outside Sonic Sports Bar and Lounge. Four people sustained minor injuries in the incident.

The exact nature of Green’s charges remains unclear. A St. Petersburg Police news conference Wednesday did not reveal the circumstances leading to his arrest, but authorities linked the case to the shooting.

During the conference, St. Petersburg police refrained from disclosing further details. However, the investigation led authorities to two residences associated with suspects in the shooting, both connected to Green or one of his business ventures.

A SWAT team executed a search warrant at one of the residences on Monday evening, resulting in the arrest of two individuals on drug and weapons charges. Despite the operation, the shooters remained at large until Wednesday, when three additional arrests were made in connection with the shooting: Kevontre Wesby, 20; Keith Wesby, 21; and Christopher Atkins, 24.

The investigation yielded significant evidence, including multiple firearms, ammunition, cash exceeding $10,000, and various items of jewelry. Authorities have been investigating a violent group known as the "YG's" or "Young Gangsters" since March 2022, connecting several members to Green since the summer of 2023.

St. Petersburg Assistant Police Chief Mike Kovacsev emphasized the association between Green and the suspects, highlighting shared residences and vehicles. However, authorities have yet to determine Green's involvement in the shooting incident.

"We don’t know if he was there that evening when shots were fired. We don’t know if he had anything to do with it at that point," Kovacsev stated. "It’s more of a fact that you have vehicles, you have residences, you have a complacency. You’re complicit, and we can’t ignore it."

Green has a history of legal issues, including a 2022 arrest on domestic battery charges in Pinellas County, which were later dropped. He rose to prominence in 2020 with his hit song "Heart on Ice," which garnered attention on TikTok and charted on the Billboard Hot 100. Green has maintained ties to his community in St. Petersburg, at times making headlines for philanthropic efforts such as providing $25,000 worth of free gas to residents in 2022.
